BIRD WATCHING – SOUTHERN AMAZON
4 Days / 3 Nights – Immersion in One of the Most Biodiverse Regions of the Amazon
Located within a vast private reserve in the Southern Amazon, with more than 11,000 hectares of preserved rainforest, this experience offers a deep immersion in one of the richest ecosystems on Earth. The region hosts more than 600 bird species, as well as 8 species of primates, making it an exceptional destination for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.
All activities are led by experienced naturalist guides who have extensive knowledge of species behavior and the best observation locations.
Day 1 – Arrival and First Observations
Arrival at the nearest airport to the Southern Amazon region and transfer to the reserve. After check-in and a brief introduction to the local ecosystem, we begin with a gentle walk along forest trails.
This first contact already offers opportunities to observe several typical Amazonian birds such as tanagers, woodcreepers, and antbirds.
In the late afternoon, we head out for birdwatching around the forest edges and open areas near the river — a time when many species become more active.
Dinner and briefing about the following day’s activities.
Day 2 – Birdwatching in the Forest Canopy
Departure before sunrise, the ideal time for birdwatching. A guided walk leads to a 50-meter canopy observation tower, offering panoramic views of the forest canopy — home to many rare and colorful species.
From the tower it is possible to spot toucans, aracaris, cotingas, hawks, and various species of parrots and parakeets.
After breakfast, exploration continues along deeper trails in the primary forest, focusing on understory species, which are often more challenging to locate.
In the afternoon, a canoe or boat excursion along the region’s crystal-clear river allows observation of birds associated with aquatic environments such as herons, kingfishers, jacamars, and other riverine species.
Dinner and free time to rest.
Day 3 – Specialized Trails and Bird Photography
Early morning departure for a specialized trail in areas known for high bird diversity. Guides assist with identifying bird calls and behaviors, helping guests locate rare and endemic Amazonian species.
After breakfast, time for rest or birdwatching around the lodge surroundings, where fruiting trees and natural feeding areas attract a variety of birds.
In the afternoon, another observation excursion combines forest walking with navigation through small channels, ideal for bird photography in a pristine natural setting.
At the end of the day, guests gather around a firepit to relax and share experiences about the species observed.
Day 4 – Final Observations and Departure
Before breakfast, a final birdwatching outing takes place near the reserve — an excellent opportunity to spot species not yet recorded during the trip.
After breakfast, transfer back to the airport.
